And we're back after a short break! We take a breather from traditionally fantasy movies to talk about THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD and how every scrap of Robin Hood media is directly influenced by that movie, how THREE MUSKETEERS(1993) is such an inexplicable movie, how it stacks up against Prince of Thieves, I make way, way too many Star Wars comparisons, we both neglect to realize that they had three singers on that track for a reason, how A KNIGHT'S TALE is still incredible and what a loss Heath Ledger was!

Here we go! A little Side Project we have going with Dad, talking about every James Bond put to film, in chronologically order. We're starting with the 1954 made for TV Drama, staring American Barry Nelson as James "Jimmy" Bond. Yeah. But Peter Lorre as Le Chiffre is pretty good! Along the way we talk about why we're doing this, what is in store, and Dad's history with the franchise.
Farmington Martini: Pilsner, such as PBR, and 3 olives. A drink, dinner, and show.

Hello again! We're here talking about THE OLD GUARD and how we want Charlize Theron to have a long career, the abysmal AMAZONS and how we love and hate Roger Corman, Halloweens past and how it had better sound, FIRE AND ICE and adult cartoons looking the same, and the awkwardness of movies with families! Hope you enjoy!

On this episode we are joined once again by our dad Bill Farabee! We talk about animals in the wild, how pretty okay BULLETPROOF MONK is, how godawful AGAINST THE DARK is and the power of spite, and how utterly, utterly astounding HIGHLANDER continues to be!

Our 20th Episode! Lars opens so many bags of chips! We talk about the unearned emotions of ONWARD, boredom of quarantine since we're all experiencing that in some form, how LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN is kind of okay, and how BABES WITH BLADES is a very strange piece that doesn't make sense in a lot of ways!

On this very special LIVE episode, live because children run back and forth and we only use minimal edits, Lars and I talk about life under Coronavirus, how ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES was a staple of our childhood, Lars steals a Bill Murray speech, how FROZEN 2 was a better sequel than we ever got, the strange things that we've been going through not going anywhere, and how THE ADVENTURER: CURSE OF THE MIDAS BOX was a very weird movie. Hope you folks stick around, we're not going anywhere for a while.

A Year of Sword and Bored! Thanks for all of the listens. On this episode, we talk about how weird and delightful THE FIFTH ELEMENT is, poorly hum the music from a lot of these movies, how KRULL is immensely buoyed by Richard Horner's score, set dressing and dreamy design, how DEATHSTALKER AND THE WARRIORS FROM HELL is just atrocious, and how we're glad to be able to do this with each other for all of you!

On this episode, we're joined by Lars' Friend Rex, we talk about the Pretty good BRAVE, I regale with tales of the craziest festival I've ever heard of, how CAST A DEADLY SPELL is a great idea hampered by execution, Eleanor runs through the recording booth multiple times, how THE WIZARDS OF LOST KINGDOM is a big ol' pile of nuthin', how Roger Corman is one of the most infuriating characters in film! #swordandbored
Sword and Bored
Lars and Luke, Brothers in Arms, talking about every fantasy film they've ever seen, want to see, what makes them tick, what makes them not work, what's better, what's worse.
What we define as a fantasy: If it's readily apparent, if someone could or does pull out a sword and it doesn't require additional context to make sense, it's a fantasy. Raiders of the Lost Ark isn't a fantasy. The Mummy is.
This arbitrary definition will be used and ignored at a moments notice for comedy.
